Travelling to and from MLC
Our campus is located in the heart of the vibrant Perth suburb of Claremont. Bordered by Christ Church Grammar School and the Swan River, we are on the corner of Stirling Highway and Corry Lynn Road.
There are a numerous options to explore when planning your journey to MLC. We encourage our MLC girls to walk, cycle or take public transport, where appropriate.
When visiting MLC for the first time, it is helpful to note traffic on Stirling Highway can be congested during peak traffic times. Depending on the time of day of your visit, limited parking is available in the Meredith Taylor Health and Sports Centre car park and in the Hadley Hall carpark on campus. View map of MLC here. Limited time free parking is available at Claremont Quarter, should you prefer to avoid congestion during peak times and enjoy the five-minute walk to campus.
Drop-off and
Pick-up Areas
and Parking
There are two major entry points to the College for parents dropping off their children.
Parents of all students are encouraged to enter the College from Stirling Highway to drop their children in the carpark adjacent to Hadley Hall. There is also a larger car park in front of the Meredith Taylor Health and Sports Centre which can be utilised.
The second access point is via Corry Lynn Road which is available as a drop off or pick up point for students from the Early Learning Centre–Year 12. It is likely that students finishing classes at 3.30pm will not arrive at Corry Lynn Road for pickup until around 3.40pm. It is illegal to park along the street and verges during peak times on Corry Lynn Road and the surrounding streets, except in marked bays.
There is limited parking available in all areas of the College so car-pooling is encouraged whenever possible.

Transperth Services
By Train
Trains run regularly throughout the day to Claremont station which is on the Fremantle line. Our girls walk from the station to the campus in about 10 minutes.
Girls travelling on the Midland, Joondalup, Armadale or Mandurah lines can connect with this service at the Perth city station.
By Bus
Transperth is the government provider of bus services in the metropolitan area. It provides special school bus services throughout the WA Education Department school terms to and from our campus. These terms may differ slightly from the MLC school term.
As we are conveniently located on Stirling Highway, numerous public bus services also stop outside of the campus.
Note that this service is term-time only and runs to coincide with
WA Education Department term dates, which may differ from MLC term dates:
Special buses link with some train services, running between Claremont Railway Station and the College on school days. The 107 bus departs from Stop ID 11160 at the Claremont Station and comes past MLC.
